Graham Potter pleaded with his Chelsea players to"stay together" after a shock 2-1 defeat at Fulham that saw Blues forward Joao Felix sent off on his debut before a decisive blunder from Kepa Arrizabalaga.Potter's troubled side crashed to a seventh defeat in their last 10 games in all competitions after another spluttering display.
Fulham were gifted their late winner by Chelsea keeper Kepa, who made a hash of dealing with a cross that Carlos Vinicius converted to leave Potter facing renewed talk of the sack just four months after he replaced the axed Thomas Tuchel."I was disappointed with goals. We can do better than that. That's what cost us.
"We have got to keep working. There is no other solution. You have to keep working, stay together and try to get the three points," Potter said. "It was a forwards tackle. There was no malice in it but I understand why it was a red. It is another blow. The hits keep coming at the moment," Potter said.
Picked out by Mateo Kovacic, Felix fired wide from the edge of the area, then volleyed over after Azpilicueta's cross found him unmarked 10 yards from goal.Hall surrendered possession and Chalobah failed to clear properly before Willian unleashed a powerful drive that took a deflection off Trevoh Chalobah as it flashed past the wrong-footed Kepa.
